Eating Healthy at Wheatberry


Getting a good breakfast is very important for your health. We visited this place that serves breakfast all day. It's called Wheatberry Bakery and Cafe. It has a wide selection of freshly baked breads and pastries. They serve breakfast all day, too!

We went there as early as 9am and they already have customers dining. Arlo and I tried there breakfast platter which has 2 pancakes, sausage, egg, and hash browns. We also tried out the bacon and beans which was featured in The Sweet Life on QTV 11.

I especially liked the bacon and beans which is basically pork and beans. I like how I can taste the flavor of fresh tomatoes as the base of the soup. The beans have the right texture, not too soggy.

Arnold, the restaurant's chef, invited us for dinner. He asks us to try out their entree. For starters, we had chili con carne served with buttered baguette, nachos and pita bread. It was served with a cheese sauce that made it really special. The appetizer just had the right amount of heat and it blends well with the cheese sauce.

When you visit Wheatberry, you have got to try their calamari en tinta negra. The challenge with preparing squid is how to manage its texture from being rubbery. Its sauce was very savory with the help of garlic. You won't help it but ask for another cup of rice. Korean beef stew is served with kimchi. They used beef tendons instead of ribs.

Arnold wanted us to try his new dish called Poached fish with mushrooms. He used cream dory for this entree which serves as a canvass for the palate. To add flavor and aroma, it was blanched by olive and sesame oil. Mushrooms adds relish to it.

Wheatberry serves healthy food and their service is fast. Groups can dine together and they even offer a conference rooms for meetings. After dinner, you can check out their cakes and pastries and order freshly brewed coffee, too.
